Using Webmail

Webmail provides a secure means for accessing your CS e-mail from outside
(or inside) the department using a web broswer.

Features

Webmail is not as feature-rich as some
mail clients,
but it can provide a useful and secure connection to your e-mail
when all you have available to you is a graphical web browser, such
as Firefox or Internet Explorer, which supports an encrypted (ie,
secure) connection.

Webmail supports the following features:

Folder and mailbox browsing

Message compose and send

Compose spell checker

Contacts (address book)

Folder management

Preferences

Various languages

The only storable preferences currently supported are: full name,
e-mail address, language, and signature.

Sent mail (messages that you send) is saved in a mailbox named
sent-mail in the mail folder (mail) in your home directory,
